Where is the confirmation Ian???? Just rumours and speculation. Point to the Adobe official announcement please??

The splash screen shown is just Lr5 with the number Photoshopped..... duh

The fact is those with any knowledge cannot say anything and those without knowledge guess. That's the way it has always been and still is.

Geoff,

Yes the photo-shopped splash image had been there many months. I think anyone would know that .......... perhaps not in NZ?

cheers

Accidental release of a Lightroom 6 books details on Amazon Germany indicate the imminent release of Lightroom 6. Possibly on September 16th at Photokina 2014 in Cologne? This of course will be the BETA version rather than the retail version which is reported widely to be fully released in March 2015.

I would not buy Lightroom 5.6 or be tempted by the Cloud. Wait a week or two and get the Lightroom 6 beta and use it until the full retail is released. To purchase the 'Old product' of Lightroom 5 now would be foolhardy.

Just so anyone is fully clear, no one working for Adobe or wanting to stay on the 'good side' of Adobe in these forums will release any information about Lightroom 6 before Adobe actually makes the formal announcement. You just cannot get the answer in these forums! I am sure they will confirm that they either know the release date and cannot say or they just do not know.

Just wait a littel Jim0740 I am sure you will benefit. It is always worth waiting as when a new release takes place their is little effort by Adobe to sweep up newer cameras raw formats for compatibility in older versions. I still use LR4 and I am sure you will see many benefits in LR6. I will get LR6 myself as LR4 just does not support my Nikon RAW files despite Adobe flunkies in this very forum insisting that Adobe do not abandon the owners of older versions of LR. I am sure Jim0740 will know what I am talking about if he is using LR3 (which I also have)?

an, Thank you for the info. I also couldn't see buying v 5 when 6 is coming out in a few months. I really like the LR version 3 I have now, but there is a bunch that it can't do..

Jim0740 what OS do you have? LR5 needs OSX 10.7+ or Windows 7+. Not sure what LR 6 would need for minimums.

Why not upgrade to Lr5? That is the option right now and likely for some time.

No announcement yet. You know as much as anyone else. So you should know how much we know.

I don't do the cloud thing. I want a program on MY computer.. I hate to go somewhere else for a program

The cloud is just a way to license and download the software to your computer. The programs install locally the same as always, they are just licensed via a cloud login instead of a serial number.
